Old Gray
An Autobiography
Review Summary: The band overcomes past growing pains and delivers a fully developed album detailing the effects of depression, loneliness, and lost love.
A little late to the Midwest screamo revival movement pioneered by Merchant Shipsand Midwest Pen Pals, Old Grayhave accomplished something those bands never did: releasing an LP. To be fair, the bandâs sound has progressed beyond the aping of those bands contained on their first demo and EP. That isnât to say there werenât some growing pains along the way. 2012âs Everything I Let Go & The Things I Refuse To was billed as a change in sound and was, but they hadnât ironed the kinks out.

Cam, Charlie, Raph, Nick, Jon: I’ve been digging a grave with the parts of my brain that still work. They’re burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams. Cam: I still feel a heart that's beating but I can't feel love, I still feel a life inside me but I feel no blood. I still clench my teeth and I pull out my hair; my skin and bones are bare. I've been living with the weight of the world and the moon and the stars, burning in my eyes. I haven't seen clear in 19 years; will you please save my life? Cam, Charlie, Raph, Nick, Jon: I’ve been digging a grave with the parts of my brain that still work. They’re burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams.

Cam: Did you think about all the things you said to me? Do you think that they helped quell the Hell in my head? In my heart I was torn apart. In my dreams I’ve been thinking of a way to disappear. Well my greatest fear was that I would disappoint all the ones I love, but I’ve been there and back. It’s not so hard when you can’t face yourself in the mirror. Did you think about all the things you said to me? Do you think that they helped quell the Hell in my head? In my heart I was torn apart. In my dreams I’ve been thinking of a
